(Dress Rehearsal) Weekly Log

[miraclelivemod]

It's early November at Harugaizumi International School. Last week, the whole school put on a cultural festival, with the School Idol Club having a performance in the gym. You got a pretty decent turnout, but that's no reason to rest on your laurels; practice and school both continue this week! Have fun, check out the setting, and keep your ears open. You never know what opportunities will pop up for you!

[Ayaka yawns, shuffling in from the library printer The Newspaper Clubroom That Totally Exists with a pile of papers, and stops to blink.]

What are you doing in this early, Rita-nyan?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Oh. Just noticed one of our light display props didn't run right during the Cultural Festival live.

[... Did she notice WHILE SHE WAS PERFORMING?]

If I'm going to be rigging up light columns and shaped LED displays, I want them working like they're supposed to, so...

[anchornyan]

Fur real? [Ayaka leaves the stack of papers on the meeting table and walks over to look them over.] It looks fine to me. What happened?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

[Rita pauses the video, and moves to a specific timestamp. She points to... One color being a tiny bit off.]

Here.

[She pulls the video forward and points to another.]

Here.

[And a third.]

And here.

Three mistakes is definitely too many if we want the most attention to us and the school.

[anchornyan]

[She squints, stares with her face right up at the screen, and eventually pulls back.]

Huh, you're right. I never even noticed, and I've been looking at these for hours putting together our feature! You're pretty good at this.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Being good at this sorta thing is basically all I've got, so.

[Rita sighs. In all reality, the errors are minute, and she's beating up on herself for nothing. But getting her to admit that could be tricky...]

[anchornyan]

I think you're fine, Rita-nyan. You didn't make any mistakes at all! Even our B♡nd coverage didn't mention anything -- oh, did you see it yet?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Oh, right. I haven't yet, nope.

[She's been too busy obsessing over this.]

[anchornyan]

[Ayaka digs out her phone and shows Rita basically what Carmel looks up the following day.]

See? The lighting was their favourite part! And between you and me, I'm pretty sure the one they're vagueblogging is Ryoko-nyan, no offence to her.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Huh. Nice to see people liked that part of the work. But it kinda just means I gotta keep going better, you know?

[anchornyan]

You're pretty ambitious about this! Of course, it's hard to blame you. It's what you're known for, after all, right?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

It had better be! I am a genius with this sorta thing, you know.

[... She's also well-known as a weirdo and quite a few people are surprised she was talked into joining the School Idol Club. There's probably rumors about her family situation - not that it'd be hard to check and know what actually occurred, but...]

[anchornyan]

Kind of knew you'd say that. Don't worry so much! We can just keep working and trying to have fun, right?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

I know what I'm good at for this group, and I've gotta keep going on it. It's just how it goes.

[... Rita seems kinda serious about this, wow...]

[anchornyan]

Yeah, I guess so. But isn't this supposed to be fun, too?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

To me, being useful's kinda part of the fun.

I don't have a lot else going on, see...

[anchornyan]

You don't think you're good at the singing and dancing stuff? You've been working like everyone else, though.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

I guess if our B♡nd coverage says so, I'm doing well there?

It's more like I don't have a lot of a life beyond this club. Thus why I kinda dove in as hard as I did...

[anchornyan]

That goes for a few of us, huh... But that's the point of club activities, right? It's a place to be passionate about what you do with your friends! The beating heart of our society!

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Can I really call everyone here friends?

[That... Definitely sounds like some major self-doubt issues.]

[anchornyan]

I mean, I hope so. It flows nyaturally, doesn't it?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Haven't had a lot of friends in the past, so, I honestly don't know.
